Supplies:

• Popsicle sticks

• glue/glue gun (use only with parental help)

• String 

• newspaper/place mats

• paint/markers

• Bird seed

Instructions:

1. Before anything, make sure the area in which you are building your bird feeders is clean and place mats are put down to ensure glue does not get on any surface but the bird feeder.

2. If you are using a glue gun make sure it is plugged in and warmed up, also make sure there is a parent present to supervise or help with the hot glue gun.

3. Begin to lay out your popsicle sticks to create the bottle of the bird feeder, you can create as large or small a surface as you would like. After you have laid them out you can then begin to glue them together.

4. After you have your base or bottom of the bird feeder, you will then continue to make layers, like the side of a house, make sure there is a whole in the center. You will be stacking these layers on top of each other.

5. Once you feel you have created enough layers, you can begin to glue them onto the base and on top of each other. 

6. After you have completed putting your bird feeder together you may glue or tie string to it, this will be used to hang it in the garden.

7. If you would like to color or paint your bird feeder, this can be done before it is assembled by painting or coloring the popsicle sticks or you can do it once you are finished assembling it and the glue has dried.
